About Sealy
Sealy are the world’s number one bed brand, with a rich heritage that dates back to 1881. It all began in a small town in Texas, where a young Daniel Haynes developed his first ever cotton filled mattress. Over 130 years later, Sealy operates in over 50 countries worldwide.
Sealy UK invests more time and money on product development than any other bed manufacturer, utilising state-of-the-art facilities at the world’s largest and most advanced research and development centre in Greensboro, North Carolina. This is in addition to the Silentnight Group’s own research and development resource at Barnoldswick in Lancashire.
Nestled in the heart of Cumbria, Sealy UK employs around 330 people and generates a staggering 3,500 mattresses a week from our 160,000 sq ft factory.
Sealy UK are assosiated with some of the most prestigious organisations, including the Orthopaedic Advisory Board and Allergy UK- holding their seal of approval for our Sealy Smart Fibres. Sealy UK also holds a Which? Best Buy accreditation, with one of our mattresses receiving the highest score in testing.
Helping the nation sleep better is so much more than a hollow philosophy to our brand, this mission literally drives everything we do.
